Debden, Nr Saffron Walden

Property Description
THE SMALL BARN forms part of an historical farmyard group. The property was built by the present owner on the footprint of a former Grade II Listed barn with later extensions and upgrades to create, what is now, a stylish and impressive family home which incorporates many features as a reflection of the original
building.
The front door opens into an entrance hall with attractive wooden floor and wall timbers. A ground floor bathroom sits off to one side containing a 3-piece suite including a rolltop ball & claw bath. The central vaulted dining room is an impressive space, perfect for entertaining featuring a galleried landing which looks down from above, fireplace with fitted stove and exposed brick fire breast. A study sits off to one side providing ideal space for those who work from home with natural timbers and two windows looking out to the front. The kitchen incorporates an array of storage cupboards complemented by wooden work surfaces, butler sink and an integrated 5-burner propane gas hob with extractor fan above, double oven and under-counter fridge. The kitchen has a dual aspect and opens to an adjoining utility room which has further work surfaces and appliance space with storage and pantry cupboards, window to the rear and stable door opening to outside. A most attractive sitting room has a dual aspect with
three windows drawing in natural light, natural timbers and a feature brick fireplace with fitted stove. Double doors open onto an impressive garden room which features a most attractive brick floor and forms a broad L-shape with windows across the rear wall providing delightful views over the rear garden and drawing in enormous amounts of natural light. There is a ground floor cloakroom accessed from this area which, in turn, links to the useful garage/workshop.
A staircase from the garden room rises to an occasional bedroom which sits above the garage/workshop. The principal staircase from the central dining room rises to the galleried landing which, itself, creates an additional sitting area, although could be used for a variety of purposes. There are 3 further bedrooms accessed from the landing; the master being a particularly impressive double bedroom which incorporates a seating area with full height triangular window providing views over the rear garden and to countryside beyond. The bedroom also benefits from its own en suite shower room, as does bedroom 2 which is equally well fitted.
OUTSIDE, the property is approached via a gravelled driveway, shared with neighbouring properties, leading onto the property’s
own driveway which sits alongside the house and provides access to a detached garage. The rear gardens really are a truly outstanding feature being laid predominantly to lawn, yet
incorporating a large terrace which adjoins the back of the property, timber deck with pergola over which provides a further outside seating area overlooking a delightful garden pond. The
gardens contain an array of mature plants, shrubs and trees set within a variety of flowerbeds and borders with open countryside
beyond the rear boundary, over which the property does enjoy a beautiful country aspect.
AGENT’S NOTE: Millers Farmhouse, the neighbouring property, owns the principal entrance driveway over which The Small Barn has a right of way and contributes one third of
costs for general upkeep.
